Abstract
Methods and apparatus teach providing semantic associations between data available on one or more computing devices, including grouping together related files and creating an association between the related grouped files and at least one anchor file to provide a semantic association for the grouped files. Also is taught configuring an agent on the one or more computing devices to undertake the grouping and to create the association without a user request. Also is taught triggering an evaluation of current files against related grouped files, and creating an association between the current files and at least one of the related grouped files and the at least one anchor file. Information may be added to the created association to create additional semantic associations for one or more of the grouped files and the current files. In turn, computer program products and computing systems for accomplishing the foregoing are provided.
